MDA2300 - Sleep/Wake - Final Videos

These are the two videos which will form my installation piece: there is the Television Video:

and the Projection Video:




I am very pleased with how these have turned out; the editing in the television video is paced irregularly, so that after the piece has been looped for so long, even though the projection will be looped, the audiences will have difficulty telling how long the television film lasts. This will give a feeling of confusion with regards to the time the film lasts, representing how when suffering from sleep paralysis, time can appear to be irregular.

The projection video, with it's flashing images and erratic movement, (due to the use of keyframes, and Luma Key - Key out Lighter/Darker,) is in itself a very disorienting piece. While watching it people find it difficult to focus, and while watching it, due to the flashing, visual illusions seem to appear, different for each person who watches it, which are similar to the hypnagogic hallucinations often experiences in nightmares/sleep paralysis.
